About
We will investigate the boundaries between inner hearing and external sound and experiment with narrative through vocal textures, improvisation, and instrumental performance. Final performance will be a 3-act "sonic triptych" based on Dionysus.
Impact
We're recovering an ancient capacity of collective listening. In a world that has forgotten how to hold complexity together, this project demonstrates that deep, embodied listening is a civic skill, not just an artistic one.
Progress
We have already organised one residency in Stockholm, Sweden in June, and created an immersive experience and concert with 70 attendees. This is the second stage for our collective to explore quantum listening.
Team
Eugene is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and psychology researcher published by Oxford University Press on group creative dynamics. Şebnem is a creative technologist and former Experiential Futures Lead at Emerge who led the Re:Sound residency.
